YOUNGSTERS at a Middlesbrough school have benefited thanks to a £2,500 donation from a Teesside supermarket.

Staff from the Tesco store in Billingham were able to donate the money to Beverley School through the company's Community Charity Trust.

The school caters for children with autism and the money will be used to give them horse riding lessons.

Richard Gregory, manager at the Billingham Tesco store, said: "This donation reinforces our commitment to support local community initiatives.

"We are delighted to help Beverley School and know that they will benefit greatly from this donation."
